Photoshop & Siggy Making

I have a playgroup online I've posted on since I was pregnant with Chan. It's at ivillage.com and I've made a lot of good "internet" friends with kids born the same month as Chandler. There are options to add a personal signature on the end and I've always had other people make them for me. Marshall bought the creative suite about a year ago as he has a bunch of graphic design classes and he wanted to be able to do homework at home instead of going up to the school all of the time. One of the programs is Photoshop CS2. I'd never really gotten to know it but today Chandler napped for almost 4 hours and I figured I would start learning. It's a lot of fun but frustrating at the same time. Anyways, here is my end "siggy" that I came out with. Hopefully I will start getting better & it won't take me 2 hours to do one signature :)

I love the CS2 version. You'll get the hang of it soon and your siggy looks wonderful. Did Marshall ever take visual media yet? If he took it with Sykes, he should have a "hot to" tutorial for the program that walks you through everything you may want/need to do. :o)

I have never used Photoshop. Quite frankly it scares me. LOL But it sounds like in no time you will be putting together things very quickly. Nice signature. I am sure the calendar is going to turn out great also!

How exciting! So glad you jumped on the photoshop bandwagon. I am jealous that you have CS2, I've only got elements! Great job on the siggy, look awesome! (cute pictures too, especially that first one- who took that?? :-) )
